This post is available to paid subscribers only. As always, thank you for your generous support, which helps me continue in the fight to protect the sex-based rights of women and girls and to stop the abolition of sex.
A few days ago, I gave a talk to U.S. signatories of the Declaration on Women’s Sex-Based Rights called “Why I Think We’re Much Farther Along in the Movement than it Might Appear.” Please give the Declaration a read and sign it if you agree!

Also, WDI USA recently announced its support for Lesbian Bill of Rights International - an international network of lesbian radical feminist organizations.
